Caterpillar updates six compact track loaders and multi-terrain loaders to the D Series with a new cab and lift-arm design, and increased engine performance. The 257D, 259D, 277D, 279D, 287D and 289D loaders are powered by an electronically controlled 3.3-liter diesel that generates 74 hp with 8 percent more torque and 6 percent better fuel economy than their predecessor models.
- One-piece Cab One seals tightly, which allows doubling cab pressurization for a cleaner working environment
- New HVAC delivers 20 percent more airflow and a 50 percent increase in heating and cooling rates
- High-back, heated, air-suspension seat option with recline and lumbar adjustments incorporates industry-exclusive integral seat-mounted joystick controls
- Advanced Display monitor allows 50 security codes that can store and recall operating preferences for each of 50 operators
- The Advanced Display supports the first integrated rear-view camera offered on compact track loaders
- New throttle-smoothing feature monitors accelerator-pedal movement under the operator’s foot and clips the extremes of pedal travel to yield steady, smooth travel speeds
- Dual self-leveling automatically levels the loader attachment when raising and lowering the lift arms
- Work tool positioning allows the operator to set the angle and depth of the attachment and then to automatically return the attachment to that angle by depressing a joystick trigger
- Electronic snubbing automatically cushions the descent of the lift arms, slowing downward motion just before the arms reach their stops
- New tubular lift arms present a narrower profile for improved sight lines to the sides of the machine
- An electrically actuated work-tool coupler replaces the hydraulically actuated coupler
